BMW X1 review

Things We Like in X1

The BMW X1 gets sporty and muscular looks, a trait missing in its arch rival - the Audi Q3

Gets most of the features one would expect from a vehicle in this price range, including an electrically-adjustable seat with memory function and a two-zone climate control, among others

Things We Don't Like in X1

The boot lid does not feature the switch to shut it electrically

The ‘M’ model is way too expensive when compared to the regular variants. It costs around Rs 6 lakh more!

The cabin of the BMW X1 isn’t the quietest due to tyre noise that creeps in at high speeds

"The new-gen BMW X1 makes for a great pick if you want a spacious, well-loaded and good to drive luxury SUV. Thanks to its class-leading cabin space, not only is it a great family car, it is also a better chauffeur driven option than rivals like the Audi Q3 or Mercedes-Benz GLA."
